Weekly Roundup 11 May 2020

Gosh what a difference a week makes!

V.E. day celebrations continued in Pinner although confined to residents’ front gardens.  It was wonderful to see all the smart china come out for afternoon tea and people having conversations across the fence panels or from the pavement.

Lindy-hop was filmed on the High Street by Kara (and her partner) of Lines of Pinner.  This was definitely something that could not have happened without the lockdown.

For those of you that are members; work has started to produce the July edition of the magazine. During WWII it was published and so see no difference now.

On a business front…..

Good news from BrOOK’s; you are now able to order more than one book at a time.

Last week saw more eateries re-open for business:

These were

  • Ideal Fish Bar
  • Caffè Nero
  • K5 Lounge
  • Sakee

Check out our COVID-19 Restaurant Section of the website for their hours. Hallmark cards temporarily opened only to be told they needed to close.

Other shops to open with changed operating times are the

  • Beer Asylum
  • Jafvans
  • Lines of Pinner
  • Pinner Village Store

Check out the COVID-19 Local Retailers section of our website.

We look forward to the day when all the shops can reopen.  (I for one can’t wait until Berkeley Square reopens as I am badly in need of a haircut. (It’s been over 11 weeks since my last cut and I’m definitely looking wild!)

Weekly COVID-19 Round up 4 May 2020

Weekly Round up

As we enter our eigth week of lockdown, here is a summary of what has been happening.

Whilst we may not be holding committee meetings due to the current situation, committee members are busy looking at all of the planning applications being submitted and answering emails/phone calls to do with this area. It’s a case of out of sight but not out of action.

The new answer to “how are you” when shouted across the street is “I’m surviving”

 

 

For those worried about shopping in busy supermarkets don’t forget you can Google the shop and get an indication of how busy they are.

 

On a business front. 

Camillia’s lingerie might be closed but they are still operating on-line

Jafvans have reopened their Harrow office. Their hours are Monday, Wednesday & Friday 9am to 2pm. Having spoken to them, their hours might expand depending on demand.

We understand that Ideal Fish Bar will be re-opening its doors on Thursday 7 May – watch this space as we obtain more information.

If there are other local shops that are open that we might have missed from our page or shops that  have changed their opening hours; please let us know by emailing [email protected]

 

Outbuilding Security Advice

Dear Watch Member,

As the weather starts to become warmer (although not in May according to the weather forecasts!), people confined to home are spending a lot of time in their gardens using gardening tools and leisure equipment, which are often left out or stored in outbuildings.

Burglars tend to target sheds, garages and outbuildings at this time of year looking for valuable power tools, bikes and other expensive items.

We recommend that everyone takes some basic security measures to make sure their gardens and outbuildings are secure. Leaving tools and gardening equipment lying around in your garden can attract thieves, as they are valuable and could also be used to break into your home.

Locking tools away in a shed or garage when you are not using them and making outbuildings as secure as possible, with strong locks or even an alarmed padlock, will help keep your property safe. Dusk till dawn security lights in your garden will make your home even safer, along with locking windows, doors and garden gates and making sure your fences are in a good condition.

Weekly COVID-19 Round up 26 April 2020

While we settled down to the inevitable of the lock down being extended, and resigned ourselves to a necessary evil of limiting our freedom.  We have a change of leader at the helm of The Pinner Association.

Christine Wallace who has been chairman for the past three years has stepped down having completed her term of office.   We would like to thank Christine for her stewardship of The Pinner Association, a task she has undertaken with a great sense of responsibility to do our best to maintain and enhance the amenity of all in Pinner.  As Chairman of the Association she has taken a particular interest in planning matters and the upkeep of parks, open spaces and allotments.   Christine is to continue to cover “Planning” and “Environment” for the Association as a Committee Member.  She will also continue to be our representative on Harrow Council’s Conservation Areas Advisory Committee.

Due to the fact our AGM was postponed, Julie Waller has agreed to be Acting-Chair until such times as we can safely hold our AGM.

On a business front. 

  • Sougtani  (TMP London’s Best Restaurant Regional Winners for 2018) are now open for deliveries and take-away. Good news for those that are getting feed up of home cooking and fancy a change.
  • Friends Restaurant are also open for deliveries only.

Check our COVID-19 restaurant page for a list of all restaurants offering delivery or take away service.

  • Peter Brooks of Brooks Pinner was heard talking to Jo Good on BBC Radio London about being regional winners at the recent British Book Awards. They might be closed but you can order on line.
  • Bodywise have informed me that they have several types of hand sanitizers and facemasks available.

If there are other local shops that are open that we might have missed from our page or shops that  have changed their opening hours; please let us know by emailing [email protected]
